Abstract
Analysis of the financial condition of the sheep industry is partly due to the low color purity of sheared wool, in the absence of animal selection to form sheep flocks with the same stripe color and the creation of conditions that would make it impossible to mix animals in flocks with different colors. To enable the above objectives to be achieved, theoretical studies of the conditions of reflection and absorption of optical radiation by the wool coat of animals were carried out, for which purpose the model of the incident ray interacting with the surface of sheep wool was improved and studied. The role of the reflected flux in diffuse scattering on individual wool layers is determined and a model of the reflected flux in the presence of local internal inhomogeneities is developed. The obtained functional dependences characterizing both the reflected and scattered light made it possible to formulate the requirements regarding technical implementation of the proposed method of flock formation by wool color.
